1. 'Cause there aren't any good pictures of those guys to affirm the apparition
Except for Moses' most popular photo where he looks like Heston



Damn! Am making a toasted cheese sandwich today and sure hopin' Chuck shows up! I could be eBay's next brazillionaire!

3. No wonder I never toasted pictographs!

4. BTW--Now that I know the secret...

when they became famous, that's why.

9. Did you ever see

21. top of chest
over the right boob I think. She was a weird old lady with no teeth who had her "Madonna" grilled cheese sandwich enshrined in a framed box for about 15 years. Very bizarre.

14. They're not in tree trunks or windows either.
Seriously, I think I know why. It's the no graven images thing. Christians have all this art in churches and all over the place. Everywhere and on everything. Jews and Muslims cannot portray the face of God so they never plastered that kind of art around.

18. No, see, it wouldn't do that. It would do something else. I dunno,
but the picture thing would be a no no. It would have to be something else. Use your imagination, WC. Maybe you will come up with something...

19. They're not the "in" delusion these days.

Once the 'Virgin' hit eBay, it was all over for those mythical icons! Can't even get booked for a tortilla these days...

23. The pay isn't what it used to be.
I think Abraham appeared on a foccacia in 1981 in some greasy spoon in Naples. Contract negotiations fell through and that's the last we heard of him.

The Son of Man is the bakery top billing nowadays.

24. How do you know they haven't? Maybe they were promptly eaten up
by a true believer, thinking the "holiness" would somehow infuse their souls. :eyes:

:D

25. Not as much market value as Mary, that's why. Besides, a picture of Mohammed would
earn you a Fatwah, not a big sale on eBay.
